Future and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe have today announced the launch of FirstPlay – Europe’s answer to Qore and the first HD interactive show for gamers in the EU territory – available exclusively through the PS3.
Weekly FirstPlay episodes will be available to UK gamers from March and will roll out across selected European and other PAL territories later in 2010. FirstPlay promises PS3 gamers HD reviews and previews of the latest games and exclusive access to downloadable content.
FirstPlay’s bespoke content is being created by a hand-picked team of TV and gaming veterans with the reviews and previews coming from the team behind the respected Official PlayStation Magazine team.
PS3 registered users will be able to buy a three month subscription at £8.99 or purchase single episodes for 99p. With thirteen episodes a quarter, the three-month subscription seems like a pretty good deal.
Like Qore, FirstPlay will be supported by advertising, although each episode will only contain six slots for companies to ply their wares, so they shouldn’t be too obtrusive.

We’re looking forward to seeing what FirstPlay has to offer in March. In the meantime, hop over to the official FirstPlay site where you’ll find a video that explains everything…

FirstPlay is a great example of this. Future has an outstanding track record in producing content for gamers that is informed, impartial, relevant and with the right production values, so we see them as a natural partner to work with as we move to on-console media development.” – Ray Maguire, Senior Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment UK
